Worldwide and locally, women and children are disproportionately represented among victims of violence and poverty. In Northeast Wisconsin, 9% of households are headed by a single mother, yet these households make up 25% of the region's households in poverty. When you give a woman equal access to opportunity, her family and community will thrive.
